- Resist! 20th-Century and Contemporary Activist Art in the US

Catalog description

A consideration of how artists and art have resisted manifestations of power in the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries. Students will examine how artists have challenged the power structures that lead to racism, misogyny, child labor, rampant consumerism, climate change, and transphobia, among other social conditions. As the semester unfolds, students explore effective teaching strategies and develop and deliver a teaching plan focused on a segment of activist American art they have studied in depth.
